Sundays at PBCOB

On Sunday we continued on with our Lenten sermon series, examining the turning of water into wine from John 2:1-12. This miracle pointed to who Christ was and asks us to wrestle with our tendency to want to turn wine back into water.

On Sunday we continued on with our Lenten sermon series, examining the Parable of the Mustard Seed in  Mark 4:30-32 . Christ often taught on the Kingdom of God by using real world examples - in this case, focusing in a tiny seed that can grow into a huge tree.

On Sunday we continued on with our Lenten sermon series, examining the feeding of the 5000 in  John 6:1-15 . Jesus fed the crowds (connecting his story with Moses) but this time around there were baskets of leftovers. We are invited into living out the Kingdom of God - are we trusting that God promises there will be plenty to go around?

On Sunday we continued on with our Lenten sermon series, examining the famous story of Zacchaeus in  Luke 19:1-10 . Jesus extended "table fellowship" to this proper old sinner - how are we extending grace and living out an emboldened faith in our own day? 

On Sunday we started our new Lenten sermon series, looking at stories involving Jesus and food, fasting, feasting, tables etc. Our first text was from  Mark 1:9-13  and the story of Jesus' baptism and temptation in the wilderness. The heroes of old generally failed in their faithfulness, but the new Israel/Moses/Adam/Elijah will succeed!

On Sunday finished our current Unnamed But Not Unnoticed series, by looking at the story Jairus' daughter and God's daughter - both who are healed by Jesus. It's a powerful narrative of healing and restoration found in  Luke 8:40-56 .

On Sunday continued on with our Unnamed But Not Unnoticed series, by hearing from our very own DeAnna Guthrie on  1 Kings 17:8-16 .

On Sunday we started a new series, looking at Unnamed But Not Unnoticed women in the Bible. Our first text was on  John 8:1-11  and the woman caught in adultery. In this story, Jesus is speaking out against religious hypocrisy and asking why we feel the need to carry rocks to be used against others.
